On a Turkish price tag the dot separates thousands and the comma marks decimals. 25.000 is twenty-five thousand, not twenty-five, and 1,50 is one and a half.
The prices on this page are examples, not market prices.
Dot for thousands, comma for decimals
In Turkish writing, numbers of four or more digits are split into groups of three, counted from the end, with a dot between the groups: 1.000, 326.197, 49.750.812. Decimals are separated with a comma: 38,6 is thirty-eight point six. Ankara University's open course notes on Turkish punctuation set out both rules; Wikipedia's article on decimal separators lists Turkey among the countries that write 1.234.567,89, and the dictionary of the Turkish Language Association (TDK) prints a million as 1.000.000.
So read the dot as a thousands mark. If a price looks a thousand times too cheap, it probably is not.

Tens, hundreds and thousands
Twenty is yirmi (YEER-mee), thirty otuz (oh-TOOZ), forty kırk (KUHRK), fifty elli (el-LEE). A hundred is yüz (YEWZ), a thousand bin (BEEN), a million milyon (meel-YON).
Numbers are built from the largest part down: the ten first, then the unit. Twenty-five is yirmi beş. Hundred and thousand take no "one" in front: 100 is simply yüz and 1.000 is simply bin, but a million is bir milyon. Words in a number are written separately: the TDK spelling rules give üç yüz altmış beş, 365, and the Wikivoyage phrasebook writes 200 as iki yüz.
Plus and minus
Artı (ar-TUH) is plus and eksi (ek-SEE) is minus. In the TDK dictionary they are the names of the + and − signs, and TurkishClass101 uses them in spoken sums: üç artı beş, three plus five.
How we checked
We checked the number format and the words on 20 October 2026 against Ankara University's notes on punctuation, Wikipedia, the Wikivoyage Turkish phrasebook, Wiktionary's appendix on Turkish numerals, the Of Languages and Numbers site, TurkishClass101 and the TDK dictionary and spelling rules.
